This is a tutorial on how to implement Karma into your game.

Karma is similar to alignment in Fable, in that people will react differently to you depending on how your Karma is.

You may also see the attached project for the finished set-up of this system (including comments).

Wowie, I can mostly definitely have a few uses for this. I've been thinking about implementing some type of reception/reputation/karma system for a while now into my game, and this will certainly do quite nicely since I'm not looking for some overly complex.

Great job, diamond!

Thank you for your words

If you run into any problems, you know where to find me

Nice tutorial, I just had a suggestion about your method though.

You've used


I would recommend changing 'greater than or equal to' to 'greater than' and 'less than or equal to' to 'less than'.
Whenever you set a variable, every single event on the map refreshes, (they load through every page, checking if the page is valid and should be shown, and then all the event sprites get regenerated, and all their commands get reset, ect), which is effectively trashing the entire map and reload everything, which can obviously lead to a lot of lag. Especially if it's done 60 times per second.

Otherwise, thanks for the tutorial I watched both, you're really good at teaching.

You are correct 'Night Runner'

It was one of those things that I noticed after I ended the initial video, so that little error was panicking on my part ;_;
I'll edit the video on youtube to show an annotation correcting this.

Thank you
